| 11:40 - 12:20 | Running a modern dental lab in challenging times | Ashley Byrne - Corus Byrnes | Running a dental lab today demands more
than technical skill, it requires agility,
innovation, and collaboration. As case
volumes fluctuate and costs rise, digitisation
and AI are no longer optional; they’re the
keys to efficiency, consistency, and growth.
From automated design to predictive
workflows, AI enhances accuracy and frees
technicians to focus on artistry and
problem-solving. But technology alone isn’t enough. Building and developing a motivated, skilled team remains essential to maintain quality and creativity. Investing in training, both for technicians and the dentists they support ensures everyone maximises digital tools and clinical solutions. The modern lab must move beyond being a passive supplier to become an active partner in patient care, educating, advising, and innovating alongside the dental team. By blending AI, digitisation, and people-focused leadership, labs can not only survive but thrive in challenging economic times. |

| 13:05 - 13:50 | Digital dentures: TRIOS Scan and Design in DS (make a title) | Tim Jackson - Prime Dental Lab | Digital dentures have been a hot topic for a while. This presentation highlights how embracing digital innovation can help you to deliver functional, aesthetic and patient focused results. |
| 13:50 - 14:35 | 3D printed dentures & materials (linked to the above session with Tim & Jamie) | Chris Andrews - Stratasys | An overview of the benefits of Digital Manufacturing. Discuss how this can affect your lab, from onboarding technologies that will streamline the process and provide the ability to grow. Current market conditions and how to address this. Discussion surrounding streamlining processes and workflows and how this impacts Labs. An introduction into the Stratasys Dentajet Technology |
| 14:35 - 14:55 | Coffee Break | ||
| 14:55 - 15:35 | Beyond the Design: Where Digital Dentures End and Art Begins | Beth Brown - The Party Enamel | Digital dentures get a bad reputation when it comes to aesthetics. Not because the technician isn’t skilled, but because the process-specific methods are not used in the analogue denture world. In this session, Beth breaks down her post-manufacture process, showing how trimming, shaping, staining and layering composite can transform a printed or milled denture into something truly aesthetic. By borrowing techniques from other specialties and adapting your approach, you can elevate your results far beyond “functional.” This is the point where clinicians start noticing not just the accuracy, but the artistry, and where digital dentures stop looking digital. Whether you're just starting or want to push your skills further, this talk will help you see finishing as a craft in its own right. |
